"name" attribute causes validation problem

I am just curious about the use of "name" attribute in <img> tag that most people (and Photoshop's ImageReady) use to create rollovers. I know that this "name" attribute does not belong to the <img> tag and will fail when validated.

Does anyone know a workaround on this? I'm trying to create a simple rollover
(javascript) that replaces the current image "onmouseover" and still maintain XHTML strict validity of the page or not using "name" under <img>. I tried to use "id" instead of "name" and it works on Mozilla but would not work in IE. Thanks in advance.
